Genie Going Bad?

Does anyone know the symptoms of a Genie needing replacement?  Mine is now 8 years old and having problems like momentary audio dropout and signal hanging on several different stations.  I have refreshed and reset many times both from my end and via tech support.  Any ideas would be appreciated.

Oops!  It's only a little over 5 years old when I switched to HD.  Just a "Genie". Don't see a model number.

Sorry I can't be of any help. I actually googled "can direct tv genie go bad, and it brought me to this forum. I have 3 genies and for some reason I have to reset almost everytime. When I turn tv and genie on,sometimes it gives me weird pink screen, or it takes for ever to start up. It's like having bad internet.  

So yes if anyone has same issues, please let me know. Have a wonderful day/weekend
